Floating Island - Triple S Talent

The effect of the spell was devastating. What started as a volleyball-sized magic orb quickly grew to the size of a house, surrounded by crackling lightning. The lightning orb shot toward a bird-winged, human-like Star Beast far in the distance.

"Damn it... Just a lowly creature, daring to act cocky with such a small skill?" the winged Star Beast sneered condescendingly. With a flap of its wings, feathers shed from its body, forming a protective shield around itself.

Boom... zap...

Duar... Dar...

The collision occurred, a massive explosion erupting and leveling everything within a 30-meter radius.

"Run... Get away now!" shouted a Tier-3 man as he ran from the winged Star Beast. With only Tier-1 power, he wasn\'t much different from the helpless civilians.

In the skies above the ruined city of Banjing, an epic battle raged between a gigantic long dragon and a man with the head of a hammerhead shark. The air seemed to tremble under the roar of the two beasts.

The long dragon\'s body shimmered with golden scales, its razor-sharp claws cutting through the air like knives, while the hammerhead shark man floated steadily, wielding a massive trident that glowed with a deadly aura. His eyes shone with cruelty, displaying a ferocity that was not to be underestimated.

The long dragon roared fiercely, its massive claws slashing forward, attacking with the speed of a storm. However, the hammerhead shark-man agilely dodged each strike, swinging his trident with full force, creating sharp energy waves that split the sky. Each swing of the trident produced sparks of lightning, shattering the clouds and causing the air to sizzle.

With extraordinary speed, the hammerhead shark-man used his trident to launch a fatal strike, thrusting the spearhead straight at the dragon. The attack was so powerful that it made the sky tremble, creating a long trail in the air. The trident pierced through the dragon\'s energy barrier and almost reached its scales.

"Damn... I underestimated you," the dragon muttered with a serious expression. It was furious now, its once-black eyes turning golden.

"Dragon Suppression!" the dragon bellowed loudly...

In an instant, the air around the hammerhead shark-man grew heavy. The space surrounding him seemed to freeze, restricting his movements and thoughts. The effect of "Dragon Suppression" was overwhelming—the hammerhead shark-man suddenly froze, his body stiff as if petrified, while his mind was shackled by the dragon\'s mystical power.

"Damn it... how could a lower species possess such pure dragon blood?" His once sharp and confident eyes turned vacant, unable to think or plan his next move.

This was the moment the dragon had been waiting for. With its gleaming claws, it charged forward with incredible speed. Blue fire erupted from its mouth, enveloping the sky in a destructive blaze. The helpless hammerhead shark-man could do nothing but endure the dragon\'s relentless onslaught.

The dragon\'s sharp claws tore through his defenses with ease, ripping apart flesh and shattering the energy armor protecting him.

In those deadly seconds, the long dragon launched its final, fatal attack—it bit down on the hammerhead shark-man\'s body with its enormous jaws, crushing bone and flesh mercilessly.

"Levon... save me!!!"

The man cried out in agony, but he couldn\'t fight back. His trident slipped from his grasp, floating helplessly in the air before plummeting far below. Blood gushed from his wounds, painting the dark sky with a sorrowful trail of red.

The long dragon roared again, this time with triumphant glee. The hammerhead shark-man\'s body was utterly destroyed in the dragon\'s grip, and the remains of his body were hurled to the ground.

.

With heavy breaths, the long dragon gradually shrank and swiftly transformed back to its original form. A woman in her twenties appeared, with long hair and a bright red robe that enhanced her fierce and untamed aura.

Her gaze turned downward, biting her lip slightly, unable to express her bottled-up emotions. With no other choice, she hurried down to take a closer look.

"President Bai Qi, they\'re too strong! We can\'t hold them off much longer!" cried one of the elite soldiers beside her, his face battered and weary from relentless combat.

"We must not give up! Hold the line! I\'ll take care of them!" Bai Qi replied, his voice deep and resolute.

...

Around Laras\'s company building, the situation was growing dire. A Tier-3 Star Beast monkey led the attack on the building, destroying everything in its path. The few remaining security guards tried to hold the monster back, but they were effortlessly crushed.

Inside the building, in the conference room, Laras\'s father, along with several company stakeholders, watched the situation unfold through a large screen connected to security cameras. Their faces were filled with anxiety.

"You said this building was safe! Look, the monster\'s getting closer!" one of the stakeholders shouted, his voice full of anger.

"What do you mean? This is your responsibility! This building was supposed to be the final stronghold, but now we\'re all going to die here!" another yelled, his face flushed with fear.

Laras\'s father, though worried, tried to remain calm. "Laras will come. Trust me. She won\'t leave us behind!"

"How can you be so sure? We should\'ve fled from here long ago!" cried a panicked woman.

But before the argument could escalate further, a massive rumble echoed from outside. The Tier-3 Star Beast monkey had arrived near the building, its large red eyes staring at the structure with clear intent to destroy. The internal security personnel tried to fend it off, but the monkey\'s brutal attacks shattered their defenses in an instant.

It easily tore through the outer walls and approached the conference room.
